Life Goals for 2016

I did a lot of growing up in 2015 and still think that I have a lot more of growing up to do! This is my first full year back at home after being away for so long (I moved away to Perth, Australia for Uni where I met Don). After years of not living with my parents, things can be a little frustrating. It has definitely taught me how to be more patience and think of others. Other than that, things have been good for me. I decided that to break up my New Year resolutions in sections - beauty, blog and life.

Below are my 2016 life goals!

My Bucket List: 4 Things I Want To Do In 2016

I try to set realistic goals for myself, so I am able to achieve it. I am an outdoors person and love adventure. Every year since 2012, I have done something adventurous. Go on an ATV jungle trek, went to an extreme park, trekked 100km, white water rafting, hike up hills, abseiling, skydiving and etc. But this whole year 2015, I didn't do a single adventure thing! I did focus on team sport - Futsal, but no... adventurous stuff! 2015 was a mini rollercoaster ride for me. There were many things I wanted to do, but couldn't without upsetting a lot of people. For 2016, I have 4 adventure related things I want to tick off in my bucket list. It's a year I want for me and Don! 

My Adventure Bucket List: 

Merry Christmas 2015

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 

It's a day of family, presents and lots of good food.  I wish you and your family the merriest Christmas! It's going to be a little quiet here for the next couple of days just so I can spend some QT with my man and family. Follow my Instagram for my quick updates!

5 Things I Do in a Long Haul Flight

I get bored really fast. I get fidgety, restless and super annoying. It's either eating, go online and shop or bombard Don with messages asking him to entertain me. Whenever I have some free time, I am always searching for things to do. Read articles online. Watch a documentary (I love watching documentaries). Blog. Work on side projects. So, imagine my boredom when I am on the plane. No internet. No phones. I have to find things to entertain myself. Every time I go visit Don, I prep myself with things to do to keep myself entertained. If you're traveling to be with your loved ones this holidays, here are some things you can do in a long flight beside sleep.

Things To Say To A Friend Who is in A LDR

As a friend, it is hard to see someone dear to you be in a relationship that you’re unsure of. Your friend has been there for you through everything and you want to do the same, but you can’t because you don’t believe in their (long-distance) relationship. You do what you know best, you try to give them "advice" or reasons why long-distance relationships don’t work out. To you, you are doing them a favour, but to us, it’s a sign of betrayal and selfishness. The truth is, life is a lot more simple if we want happy for ourselves and our loved ones. We don't hold grudges. Build up mean or hurtful things to say to each other. We shouldn’t let things that are not familiar to us get in the way of our friendship. I know, it’s easier said than done, but it doesn’t hurt to try to be there for your friend. I’ve come up with 5 phrases you can say to your friend who is in a long-distance relationship.
